Econometric Decision Models : Proceedings of a Conference Held at the University of Hagen, West Germany, June 19-20, 1981

Introduction: Towards observed preferences in econometric decision models -- Problem Area 1: Econometric decision models in theory and practice: experiences and problems in large-scale applications, recent developments in theory and methods (except those of problem areas 2 and 3 below) -- The “optimal” control of the RWI-model -- Optimal stabilization with a quarterly model of the Federal Republic of Germany -- Some experiences with the control of a macroeconometric model with a scalarvalued objective function from the viewpoint of applied economic research -- An application of optimal control to a small model of politico-economic interaction -- Evaluating macroeconomic policy: Optimal control solutions versus suboptimal alternatives -- Adaptive control of macroeconomic models (abstract) -- A fine-tuning scheme for economic decision rules -- A control-theoretic analysis for a small econometric model of the Federal Republic of Germany -- The asymptotic distribution of optimal policy feedback coefficients -- Conflict, cooperation and social preference functions -- Decentralized control strategies for large-scale discrete-time systems -- A recursive adaptive hybrid model for national and interregional analysis -- Problem Area 2: Methods for obtaining the weights and target values in the scalarvalued objective function of (e. g. ) the linea-quadratic econometric decision model -- A study of adaptive revision of target values in an econometric decision model -- The measurement of quadratic preference functions with small samples -- The determination of collective preferences in economic decision models: With an application to Soviet economic policy -- Problem Area 3: Methods for avoiding the necessity of explicitly specifying and quantifying a scalarvalued objective function before solving the econometric decision model -- Interactive solution of multiple objective, dynamic, macroeconomic stabilization problems: A comparative study -- A methodology for solving the multiple criteria macroeconomic policy problem -- The interactive multiobjective optimization method by Elemer E. Rosinger: A computer program and aspects of applications.
